WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.) released the following statement regarding the House-passed continuing resolution (CR):

"In the House and Senate, I've repeatedly voted to defund, repeal, and delay President Obama's health care law. I believe there is growing evidence that it will not work.

"This week, I'll continue that fight by supporting the House-passed continuing resolution, which defunds ObamaCare and keeps the government open without increasing federal spending. I will vote to begin debate on this bill and move to final passage on the House-passed CR. I will also vote against any attempts by the Majority Leader to restore funding for ObamaCare.

Dear Senator Blunt,

Seriously.

When the amendment to strip the CR of the Obamacare defunding comes up for a vote, he will vote no. It's a meaningless vote, however, because once having voted for cloture, Reid's amendment only require a simple majority to pass.

Blunt thinks we're stupid.

Because a yes vote on Cloture throws the bill into a plurality vote (50%+1) instead of a super majority (60). Upon confirmation of Cloture, Harry Reid will allow ONE AMENDMENT - to remove the Obamacare defunding.

By weasel wording his statement, he’s trying to have his cake and eat it too. He knows most of his Republican voters are stupid and will believe it. He is a damned traitor because he knows the plurality vote will fail and the measure will be passed, and he can go home and say he voted for defunding...

If Blunt votes with Reid and Democrats on cloture, Reid will be able to restore ObamaCare funding and the GOP won’t be able to stop the restoration. So Blunt is voting to restore ObamaCare funding when all is said and done.

He must think we are stupid. What he and Cornyn and others are doing is claiming to be against funding obamacare while at the same time voting to give Harry Reid the ability to fund obamacare with only 51 votes.

This is the beltway insider mentality and dishonest trick that we despise.

Blunt, buy a CLUE!

Because ObamaCare is such a fundamental danger to liberty, if the Republicans fail to stop ObamaCare when they have the chance, it will fundamentally change my relationship with that party and their future candidates.

Most of the guys who originally voted for Obamacare are still in office.

If I was a liberal Democrat, I’d be wiping my ass with the little people too.

Are the Republican voters in MO really as dumb as Blunt thinks they are? We’ll see next time he’s up for a primary.

Blunt is trying to pull the Yes on Cloture/No on ObamaCare trick that gives us ObamaCare anyway. If he’s not NO ON CLOTURE he’s FOR ObamaCare.

Blunt must go. I will support his primary opposition and his opponent if Blunt wins the primary. Blunt has morphed into Reid.

How is the Republican Party able to consistently find such turncoats?
